mars conjunct chiron gives a person a individual slant on life, and gives a intellient and analytical appoach to life.. they tend to have an inner "path" or innate orientation that they follow faithfully.most often this "path "is not along the cultural norm because this postion wants coherent and honesty interactions.this position does not work well where comromises of underlying standards are expected. this tend to show a reliable friend but a relentless adversary if lied to or betrayed.

Thank you so much that short, clear, and concise analysis, but most of all, correct (at least in my case)!! I have Mars conjunct Chiron in the 8th house and I do fare extremely well amongst the "underworld." If I try to latch onto mainstream or what's deemed as cultural norm, I get flatly rejected- whether it's by friendship, jobs, where to live, clothing choice, etc. nothing can be of the "norm" for me. I honestly do not mind what's "normal," I just can NEVER achieve anything remotely deemed normal unless it's through untraditional methods/means.
I live in what would be called the "slums" and my neighbors are gangsters. The police comes here all the time and yet, my neighbors are quite nice and polite towards me. They may intimidate everyone who comes into the neighborhood, but I feel safe around them. In every single place I've lived since I've been on my own (since 17), I've always lived in areas that have been considered "rough" or "dangerous" and yet found a lot of peace there- even though I've always lived in big cities...
A lot of my clothes and all my handbags are of the designer labels and yet, I found them from thrift stores, paid a small amount, and fixed/cleaned them up. As a matter of fact, it's a huge talent of mine to take what's been thrown away, fix it up, and flip it for huge profits. I have done that for fun (untraditional) but the end result is it's financially profitable, however, I don't even care if it. I am quite excellent at making money "out of nothing." People tell me I should turn it into my main job (traditional suggestion), but the moment that I turned it into an "official business," for whatever reason, I'm not profitable if I try to aim directly at a goal.
Even my marriage (something considered traditional) was untraditional itself. I was married to my first boyfriend/love and I was his first love, too. The moment he met me, he wanted to marry and asked me to marry him 2 weeks after we met. We were together for years and we kept talking about it and knew we'd marry but neither of us made any real plans for it. Then one weekend, we went for a long drive out of town and then on Monday, we went to city hall and married. It just seemed like the thing to do. We didn't tell anyone for months and when we did, it actually caused many people to be angry at us. His mother (Scorpio Moon) cried and said he ousted her out his life. My father (Scorpio Sun) said I would bring premature death on him. Still, neither of us reacted much and we got on with our lives. There was never a wedding, no banquet, no engagement ring; nothing traditionally present. Later on people gave us money, but that was because they wanted to do it. We never asked for presents or any of it. We didn't even wear wedding bands and by all accounts, publicly, we didn't even appear to be married. But we were bounded together on the deepest level and that was all I ever cared about it.
Having someone understand this part of me is really nice, thank you so much!
